Established a consulting/commercial equipment leasing business working with companies in the food industry, such as CLJL Food Marketing in the brokerage segment and Lesser Evil Snack Company in the manufacturing sector, as well as commercial equipment venders and end users in the food manufacturing and distribution area, providing financing solutions through a variety of leasing programs. Researched and identified product lines that would best help to attain business penetration into regional distributors. Negotiated and contracted new broker relationships with the manufacturers of these commodity and specialty lines. Worked with key distributors to place new product lines into selected end user accounts. Developed new promotional materials to improve company image and recognition in the food service/equipment leasing industry.

Purchased, with a business partner, a distributor of automotive detailing, paint and additive products. Assumed responsibility for sales and marketing, account relationship building, warehouse and delivery operations, and negotiating supplier pricing. In November, 2006, I successfully negotiated the sale of Ace Car Line to a sub-distributor of Malco. Major accomplishments included:* Restructured the company to counteract volatility in the auto paint industry, re-directing sales efforts toward highly profitable sales of Malco auto refinishing products under a 19-county exclusive distribution agreement with Malco, a manufacturer of a unique, high profit product line.* Developed new accounts and managed account relations with more than 400 body shops, auto dealers, detailers, car rental businesses and fleet operators throughout the metropolitan New York area. * Earned company ranking as one of the largest Malco distributors in the United States.

In 1985, purchased Sunrise Foods and assumed full ownership of this family-owned business in the food, beverage, and specialty food industry. Led sales and marketing; directed warehouse/operations, inventory control, delivery fleet, and customer credit and collections.At the beginning of 2001, after merging the company with Croton Farms, I became Vice President of Sales & Marketing. After two years of highly profitable revenue growth, I sold my interest in the business to my business partners in order to pursue other interests. Major accomplishments included: * Created and led a highly professional and motivated sales team to increase revenues from less than $1 million to $10 million annually. * Expanded the client base from 150 to over 1,200 active clients and enhanced profitability by 25% by introducing new specialty food lines and a broader selection of products enabling the development of a more diverse client base.
